Easter is a time for families to feast together, for everyone to enjoy a long weekend, and for kids to make and search for Easter eggs. But Easter isn’t so vegan friendly when you think about all the eggs, chocolate, fish and meat that is often consumed or used. 

In this post, we are going to show you how to have a fun-filled vegan Easter, complete with the best vegan Easter eggs, vegan Easter food, and we’ll even show you how to dye eggs without using chicken’s eggs!

Vegan Easter Chocolate and Candy

Veganising your holidays and family gatherings doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the things you love like chocolate Easter eggs, Easter candies, roast dinners or fish and chips. No, don’t eliminate these things, just switch them up a little. 

Luckily these days there are a bunch of vegan options for all of your common favourites, especially chocolate. Use our list of vegan Easter treats below to put together your own vegan Easter basket ideas, or take the easy route and grab one of our vegan chocolate and sweets hampers.
